boy, do I feel dumb ... the ONLY place I didn't look....

 

wanted to upgrade/upsize Sony's SEA 3-Tone skin, withOUT having to redraw everything meself.

 

thanks guys!

Woaw

 

You speak about my very first skin....dating back from december 2002.......

 

Indeed that one would need a serious refresh to be usable.

 

I started remaking a new HD one, natural metal, but is very early work only

[Wrench 9,851]

Actually, not so much. Using bobrock template, just repaint (via new layer) the 3tone and see what happens!

bobrock's template comes with a GREAT NM layer, too. lots of stencling, etc

the only difference I've noted, looking at the pics in Lock-ON #1 (104G-J, mostly focused on BAF zippers) is the red waring stripe and placard

 

i'll post some pics later (of both)

[Wrench 9,851]

ok...

new, generic NM for anyone, shown using stock 3W decals

2 views of the new SEA 3-tone for BAF (sony's decals)

 

does it look ok, or? let me know!

[+sony tuckson 12]

Well, I'd say good start...

 

I know I look at details, but can't proceed any other way ;-)

 

Look, here below is what you should try to go for...

 

Camoufmaged starfighters only had air intake roundels for a very short period before they were just removed...

 

Some markings need rework too (e.g. ejection seat triangles)

 

[Wrench 9,851]

better? or is the triange too red?

needs the tail badge decal, which I can't seem to find anywhere!

Maybe a full camo nose, no yellow dielectric behind the canopy, and non italian stencil on the nose.

 

and the ejection seat warning triangle is red with some very tiny white writings.

[Wrench 9,851]

which stencil? the white one on the radome?

[+sony tuckson 12]

air intake is same color as camo, no antiglare panel on radome

 

sorry to insist on details ;)

 

hereunder, Starfighters markings, small but at least it helps...

 

[Wrench 9,851]

there's a bit of a problem with the shock/intake cones ...they're only mapped at one place for both sides...

as you can see below.

 

uforntunately, might have to drop the accuracy a bit, and leave them black (you know how I hate being inaccurate, to0!)

 

those badges ARE small! let me see what I can do....

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

I used Bpbrocks temps for my HAF & Sea Camo Tuaf zippers.

best way to go. looks good so far Kevin!

[+sony tuckson 12]

and for info, the roundels need the blue outline, like the Mirages ;-)

 

will further look for larger tail badge

[Wrench 9,851]

i think this moot, as paulo just released his ... and his look better!!!

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

Kevin, now please don´t start german zippers.

In that case I have to finish mine fast....

[Wrench 9,851]

I PROMISE!!! I won't!!

I'll leave the BLW & MFG Zippers to you Experts!

 

(however, I will release a 'generic' 3-tone, with no painted-on markings so decaler can go nuts )
